I am an historian of art, architecture, visual culture, and scientific inquiry in the early modern world. My research and teaching investigate how the visual research practices of art and science intersected to shape colonial early modernity. Through my academic leadership roles, I promote more inclusive forms of early modern art and architectural history.
